Today’s WSJ contained a well-written review by Matt Ridley of a new book about the anti-aging market. Ridley says that in “Eternity Soup,” author Greg Critser meets “snake-oil salesmen, then the hard-headed scientists and along the way people who cannot quite be pigeonholed as either.” He also notes that “average life expectancy across the world has roughly doubled in the past century. In the U.S., the passing of every day marks another five hours added to people’s lives; the number of Americans who are 100 or older has doubled since 2000.”
I’m looking forward to reading about Mr. Critser’s journey.
